ReaderSurvey: Sound off!
Ever wanted to tell us what you really think? This is your
opportunity. The last time Berkeley Online surveyed readers was in 2005, and it’s
high time to hear from you on a range of issues that can help us figure out how to serve you
and our nearly 200,000 readers every month. Fill
out the survey as soon as you can. Results will be compiled this summer and reported back
in early fall.
